Huntley C.A.G. chapter meets, plans block-watch program
By Beth Berndt
The Huntley chapter of Communities Against Gangs met Mon., Nov. 6 to discuss issues related to preventing gang activity from coming to Huntley.
One idea the chapter is trying to implement is a block-watch program, which would identify certain houses as "safe" houses for children, or anyone, to go to should a problem arise. These houses would be identified by a symbol placed in the
window during hours that they are home.
This block-watch is an idea that is already in place in other communities, which seem to have had good response. It sends the message that the neighborhood is being monitored by concerned citizens and will held bring a sense of peace to people who need to be out of the house for any length of time.
C.A.G. is currently looking for "Block Captains" to help bring this process to Huntley. It would involve attending a couple of meetings, talking to neighbors and dropping off literature at their houses. For more information, please contact Ed Allison at 669-0542 or come to the next C.A.G. meeting on Mon., Dec. 4 at 7:00 at the Park District office.
